All: I am an avid Age of Sail gamer and joined the group after finding the above. Is WTJ still play testing and taking comments? I am willing to work with this...
It's funny, but whenever I run into people at a convention or some related place, one of the most common rules questions I get is "when are you going to finish...
I've never played it with micro-armor, although I did include a 1/300 scale basing reference for those who do. 1943 does tend to be a somewhat infantry-centric...
I've updated Quickfire with some rules changes and an experimental Flash ship log generator. The ship log generator has preformatted text zones which can be...
Jim: I completed my read of Admiralty. Great work - different and in many ways better than other sets I've played or bought. Love to keep on this one. I have...
Hey Dan, Glad you like them, I tried to approach the subject from a "clean sheet" perspective, and while that does risk reinventing the wheel, it can also give...
Thanks for the note back. If you want, I can suggest some rule wording to save you time and provide technical details as to why I recommend it that way. What...
That would be great Dan. It would make sure that the text was available at a later date without having to search for it. Feel free to create a dedicated...
I'm continuing the Quickfire test games and updates. The latest posting includes rules text, combat chart and additional resources including the beginnings of...
Hi All, For those of you who may not be familiar with what Vassal is, it is a multi-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) Java application that allows you to play...
Hmmmmm....cannot get the module file to upload here. Wonder why? I shall try again and report back when successful. Bill BTW: If and when you download the...
Hey Bill, Wow, that was a bolt out of the blue for me... I hadn't heard of the Vassal Engine. For those who haven't either, here is a link relating to it, it's...
... Jim, Glad you like it! Hopefully those who don't have regular groups or partners to play with, can make use of it. Like I said, this is my first attempt at...
Of all the rules I have seen on Fighting sail and Napoleonic ships, I have never seen any ruling on how a ship vs a fort would play out? Have a scenario idea...
Mark, Any ship would have fared very badly against virtually any fort, even a single gun martello tower would do cripling damage. Two reasons: - stable...
Don't forget another advantage the forts had...red hot shot! The wood and canvas ships could be easily set ablaze by shot that was heated in furnaces before...
Looking forward to learning all I can from the old hands of the group. My main interest lies in the area of Pre-Dreadnought Naval warfare. I also enjoy WWI....
I once read an account by a Napoleonic era Royal Artillery officer who observed naval manuevers involving ships firing against land targets. He noted that it...
Welcome James, Obviously well named I would say. :) You'll find plenty of pre- dreadnought subject matter here, especially relating to pewter and the rules to...
Another set of rules that I quite like for Pre-Dreadnoughts is DBSA (or 'Damn Battleships Again') by Phil Barker, using sort of DBx mechanisms and very simple,...
I created and Admiralty Folder and added my first set of comments in reference to sail settings and movement. Please let me know what you think or any...
Is the interval between tanks of the same unit, likewise as the traininglevel of infantry? That means: what training level do tankunits have? The same as...
Hi Erwin, Tanks would qualify as vehicles, so their interval would be according to the "Line of Sight" column in the Base Intervals table. Training level...
Does anyone have any recommendations for WTJ models to use for German destroyers/torpedo boats for the following classes.. torpedoboot 1897 (S82-S87 + G88-G89)...
Hey Doug, I think I would start with a Normand boat (Destroyer #6) and shear 2mm off the stern... right up to the edge of the aft torpedo tube (the new stern...
Thanks Jim, figured out that Destroyer #8 will do for the GroBes Torpedoboot 1898, I will have a look at Destroyer #6 and see what work is involved for the ...
Ouch, sorry about that. I keep reminding myself to go back and photograph the balance of the destroyers and torpedo boats, but I'm always on something else....
